Jesus fucking christ, the 2nd one is no wheres near the difficulty of the first one. I first tried Axel and then I stunk with him so then I picked Adam. I was doing great with Adam but the further I got I started using continues and I was losing too many extra lives when I got near the end of the game and died right before getting to the freaking boss! Terrible game over! I am playing on Normal settings because I heard Easy setting will make the game not have the real ending.
